NBRSA Big Changes Coming to Long Range (???)

I hear a behind the scenes move to a , more rotations match schedule, is being considered and embraced by many of the LR NBRSA shooters.
7 pit changes should mix things up a bit more!
What a great idea!

Is LR BR coming out of the dark ages or going backwards?
This is worth starting to shoot bench again for entertainment value alone.

The suggested rule changes are designed to change the relay and aggregate formats to achieve the following objectives:
1. Ensure that a competitor does not get to shoot ALL their targets at one time while other shooters work the pits or wait for their opportunity. It is quite common, especially at ranges in the Western U.S., for conditions to grow progressively worse in terms of both wind and mirage. The current relay structure virtually ensures that different relays shoot in much different conditions.
Studies of past matches have shown that shooters that shoot in the first relay almost always have the advantage and are commonly seen at the top of the group/score standings.
To try and make the format more equal we are suggesting that the match proceed in this order:
• Relay 1 shoots first 2 LG targets
• Relay 2 shoots first 2 LG targets
• Relay 1 shoots first 2 HG targets
• Relay 2 shoots first 2 HG targets
• Relay 1 shoots last 2 LG targets
• Relay 2 shoots last 2 LG targets
• Relay 1 shoots last 2 HG target
• Relay 2 shoots last 2 HG targets

If LR BR wants to join this century all they have to do is change 2 things that would be easily accomplished by doing one thing.
Adopt High Power event course of fire rules. Doh!!!
That would better level out the luck of the draw as well as reduce the tendency to catch a condition and speed shoot. I love speed shooting but it was getting boring vs HPower events.

2 targets at one setting or change benches for each target ?
